I bought it as a shared gift for me and my husband; we both like to write but are easily distracted. I think we may end up battling for time with the FreeWrite and need a second one for the household. I have written more in the last week than I had in the previous six months. As others have said, the FreeWrite helps to focus the mind and fingers on writing only. I think the reason it is working well for me is that it compels forward momentum by leveraging laziness. Backspacing to correct is not impossible but is just hard enough that my brain has decided to keep writing. Instead of deleting or moving a sentence that I don't like, I now just plow ahead and type an alternate version, knowing that it will land in a google doc for editing later. The result is more words on the page, not always a perfect and polished version of the writing, but something to work with. I was afraid of the high price tag and some of the tech glitches that other reviewers have experienced, so I bought the service plan. So far so good. Cons: Latency- doesn't bother me but the letters do take at least half a second to show up on screen after you press the key Ghosts - see latency above - letters and images can also take some time to vacate the screen after they have appeared Key commands- I will need the manual for a while because in order to navigate around the screen, change settings, etc, combinations of keys have to be pressed. Not entirely intuitive, but it keeps the button count down and makes the keyboard clean and simple. Plastic case - I kind of like it but my husband thinks it could look less cheap and not catch fingerprints so easily. Not for editing - it is not easy to navigate around in what you have already typed, that has to be done later on a different machine. Pros: Lightweight and small - easy to throw into a bag, fun to take out to a cafe or library. Increased words per day output - please see above. Keyboard feels nice - not too loud but satisfying to type on, it has a very good depth of key press No eye strain - I have a remote job so I stare at a screen for 40 hours per week. The FreeWrite does not add t o my eye strain, and using it does not feel like spending even more time at work. Ambient light required - the screen is like paper; you will need a book light to read it in the dark. Review: Honest Review for a Solid Device! - Buying this device is difficult because there are so many mixed reviews out there that don’t cover anything in detail so I will try to address the regular concerns and explain why I love my Freewrite Traveler. The Freewrite Traveler is awesome! Some people make it seem like the product is complicated but it’s very simple. You boot it up and it walks you through setting up wifi. Once you’ve done that it will walk you through creating a Postbox account with Freewrite. It’s simple and easy. Once that’s happened you can begin distraction free writing. Issues Addressed: - my biggest concern is regarding the WIFI. The Freewrite cannot connect to 5G wifi (it won’t even show it as an option to connect) most home Wi-Fi signals have regular/5G so if that’s the case for you then this is not an issue. However when you go out and about to write you may not find a wifi to connect to. - the price… this thing is stupid expensive and I can’t recommend it to hobby writers unless they are loaded. I freelance write for websites, work as a ghostwriter, and have published my own novel. The device is perfect for providing distraction free writing and helping me stay on task while drafting. - The biggest concern I typically see is about the half second delay between typing and letters appearing on the screen. I personally stare at my keyboard like an amateur while I start typing then halfway through a paragraph I glance up to read/quick edit. With that style of writing I don’t notice the type delay. However, if you don’t look down at all while you type this could become a real issue and may ruin the experience. - the Traveler saves your data on the device until it’s deleted. All my drafts have stayed on the device and there is nothing that has been lost. -Postbox is an awesome system. If connected to WIFI it instantly autosaves your drafts to their system. If you connect your postbox account to Google Documents (another easy thing to do) it will also autosave instantly to Google documents. Postbox also has your writing stats to help keep you motivated and see how hard you’ve worked. - some people say the device appears cheaply made and plasticky. In my opinion it looks great and while it feels a bit delicate it doesn’t feel cheap. The device comes with a cleaning wipe that I use more to clean the cover as it is definitely a fingerprint magnet. Overall there are How To Use Freewrite Traveler like a Pro videos on YouTube. Take the time to watch them and you will learn all the neat features the device has to offer. It is near flawless for what it offers and happens to work so well for me. ## Features - ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS — Always struggling to resist distractions (notifications, emails, internet browsing, social media, etc.) when trying to write on your laptop?

You can get a decent laptop for half the price that does way more.** A: Because it's a niche tool for a specific type of user, people are willing to pay more to get something niche like this plus it costs more to produce in the first place since they can't make as many in large bulk unlike more common devices. For example, people buy eReaders like Kindle or Kobo all the time for $200 despite already having a phone or tablet that can read those same ebooks but often better. Why? Because the e-ink screen is easier on the eyes and it's less distracting while reading so people find the price worth it even if it's unnecessary. Same idea here, most people would be fine writing on their laptop but some people would rather pay a bit extra to not be distracted while writing. **Q: Can I upload document created earlier on pc?** A: Hey there, Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, you cannot upload documents directly to your Traveler that you created earlier on your PC at this time. **Q: How are you supposed to get the files off of the device without internet?** A: Hey there, Thank you for writing in to us! You can operate the Freewrite entirely offline! Files can be transferred from the Freewrite to your computer via the included USB cable. Your Freewrite is always saving your documents on the Freewrite and therefore is always accessible offline. You will not be able to access regular software updates, but that's not a problem. Simply turn the 'wifi' toggle to {off} and you are ready to write offline! Best regards, Spencer **Q: Why is the price so extreme? this could be created with a raspberry pi solution, inexpensive keyboard, and interface it to an eink display.** A: We are a very small team working with small batches of manufacturing, which contributes to the price point. However, we believe that many customers find real value using their Freewrite. The Traveler is a distraction-free writing tools designed to help the modern writer achieve "flow." In a time of constant connectivity and notifications, the Freewrite products provide a rare sanctuary for writing.

I have a story I’ve already outlined completely and even have written half of. When I want to write, the laptop is too bulky with too much to lug around, and I find I get very distracted. This device does one thing: distraction free drafting. It’s a drafting machine, which means when I’m working on writing something, I write it on this, sync it to Postbox, and edit it later. In that purpose it is exceptional. The machine itself is built well. Yes it feels light, and it is made of mostly plastic, but it’s supposed to. It is made for traveling. It doesn’t need to be anything else. Opening it up, right out of the box, you turn it on, you learn how it works, and you start writing. It was super easy to get started, and I haven’t had any issues with it. For mine, I have had trouble with my Internet connection at times where I live. When that happens, I notice it doesn’t sync right away. All of the troubleshooting I have done has worked, so I’ve always been able to fix it. It is important to understand that this machine is not made to replace a PC. It’s not meant for editing, only for drafting. Editing and proofreading come later. Once you get that you really can’t do any major editing with this thing, it becomes clear how to use it. I love it and am thinking of getting a different model for my desk. ## Frequently Bought Together - Freewrite Traveler | Lightweight and Portable Typewriter with E Ink Digital Screen for Distraction-Free Drafting | Word Processor with Wifi Cloud Sync and Long Battery Life for Writers on the Move - Astrohaus Freewrite Words are Hard Writing Prompt Deck | 150 Creative Writing Prompts for 8 Genres | Gifts for Writers with Inspiring Illustrations | Storytelling Cards with a Custom Wooden Stand - Alpha Felt and Leather Sleeve | Protective Felt & Leather Sleeve with Soft, Non Scratch Lining --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/312025016-traveler](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/312025016-traveler) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
